With BlackBerry 10.3.2 being tested through the BlackBerry Beta Zone, BlackBerry has now taken the next step and made the 10.3.2 beta autoloaders available for developers as well. Interestingly enough though they are a version behind what is being offered in the Beta Zone. Software version 10.3.2.159 is what's available through the autoloaders while Beta Zone is offering software version 10.3.2...

Of course, we don't have a native Instagram app for BlackBerry 10, but we do have a couple of great third party ones and it's those that are now supported by...

Last week we ran a poll asking if you would be buying the BlackBerry Leap. The results were pretty much as I expected, as you can see below, with the vast majority of voters going for the 'no' option. As I said then, I suspect that most CrackBerry readers are after top of the range devices and who can blame them. But I'm still certain that the BlackBerry Leap has it's place in the market....

Just a quick heads up for you gamers out there. Amazon have another awesome game as their 'free app of the day' and this time it's Cut the Rope: Time Travel. I actually already had this one on my BlackBerry Passport and it's a real gem.

It's been a while since Amazon have had a 'free app of the day' that I've felt compelled to share with you. That changed today when I saw that they were featuring Table Top Racing. It's not a game that I've played before, but I'm a sucker for this style, so I grabbed my BlackBerry Z30 and downloaded it with haste.
And what a beauty it is. The first thing that really stood out was the rich...

Possibly a harsh title, but as far as I can see it must be true, looking at the evidence. The guilty party is EE. Don't get me wrong - I'm a fan of the company, in fact I'm a customer and have no plans to change that. But it frustrates me how I see them either not offering BlackBerry smartphones as an option to customers - or pricing them so high that it makes sense to choose another device...

Howdy CrackBerry nation! Hope you all are ready for the weekend. This week has just flown by and I just do not know where to begin. First and foremost, there is the thorough and comprehensive review of the BlackBerry Leap by none other than our EiC himself, Bla1ze. I highly recommend you take a moment to read through the entire piece. Also this week we saw an update to BBM beta which finally...

We've already seen a bunch of great apps updated this week and here's another for UK customers of NatWest. The banking app has been updated to version 4.0.0.15 and with it comes a sweet selection of new features and improvements.
Folk in the UK may well remember that back when BlackBerry 10 was in it's early days we were promised a native BB10 NatWest app. That didn't ever happen, but thanks...

Although it appears to be rather limited at the moment, a new BlackBerry 10 app is appearing in the BlackBerry Beta Zone for a small number of BlackBerry 10 device owners. The app is simply named 'Computer Data Sync for BlackBerry' and it helps you to add your organizer data from Microsoft Outlook on your BlackBerry 10 device in the following ways:

By now, everyone knows the story of the rounded off BlackBerry Passport for AT&T but there have been plenty of rumblings about another rounded off Passport as well and that device has been referred to as the BlackBerry Oslo, essentially an AT&T BlackBerry Passport that has been rumored for launch in China and a small number of various other regions. A new image and claims of it being...

The BlackBerry Advertising Service, which offered developers a way to integrate ads in BlackBerry 10 applications, will be shutting down on June 16, or two months from today. The company launched the service in September 2010.
In a blog post today, BlackBerry said it was ending its ad service as part of its overall efforts to "realign our focus and activities to support enterprise customer...

With Twitter seemingly on roll with adding new features as of late, I was expecting a Twitter for BlackBerry 10 update and lo and behold, one has now arrived and is currently filtering through BlackBerry World.

Now that BlackBerry has officially announced the global rollout of the BlackBerry Leap I thought it was worth trying to find out how many CrackBerry readers intent to place an order for it. I realize that many of us will only be interested in higher specced devices, but BlackBerry (and myself) believe there is still a place in the market for the affordable BlackBerry Leap.
With the Leap...
